Did God Create the People of the 1800's so small for a purpose, why were they so tiny?

Question

I went to an are exhibit in St. Louis to see Napolean. His wife's shoes were so tiny and their bed was tiny too. The clothes looked like they fit 4 ft tall people. I know Napolean was short but this was ridiculous. If people in the past were so tiny, were the war's they fought fighting for God so tiny too? Little wars that spread across Europe. But in the paintings the men looked big on the horses. Were the Painters of Early Art liars. Horses haven't changed that much. Unlike Humans. Were they trying to impress people to make it look like 1800 humans were big? Napoleans wife had shoes so tiny I thought they were doll shoes. What the heck is going on with Humans? 200 years ago they were so different from us. How can God change men in just a short period of time? How tall or short was Jesus. I suspect he must have been about 4 foot tall and in that time that must have been very tall.

lindsey p why did you star me, you didn't answer my question, why were people so small back then?

Answer 1

I'm sorry I just had to star that also

I too have been struck by the smallness of some things I have seen from the past

another thing that I saw that shocked me
and makes me think every time I hear of excavations

In St Augustine Florida there is an old house
right inside the door they have a hole dug
perhaps 5 to 6 feet deep
and they have layers marked showing where the surface was way back when
WHERE did all that 'more' come from?!?!?
Is that all dust settling in from outer space?
Everywhere on earth people are digging DOWN into the past
Now I have indeed heard of covering up your mistakes ... grin

but Dang! To me it looks like even the earth is bigger than it used to be

Answer 2

Yes. Everything in the 1800's was in black and white too. The world didn't start being in color until the 1950's.

Answer 3

God made Adam and Eve perfect, it is the sin that they brought into the world that has made birth defects.
